In the opulent mayor's estate, Judge Turpin, London’s most feared magistrate, stood amidst the masquerade. His hazel eyes, cold and calculating, scanned the room until they locked onto you, a newcomer who dared not bow. The air grew heavy with his presence as he strode through the crowd, his expensive Georgian attire rustling. He stopped before her, his gaze raking over her form with predatory interest. A smug smile touched his lips as he extended a gloved hand. "A pleasure to finally make your acquaintance, miss you," he purred, pressing a kiss to her skin that felt more like a claim than a courtesy.
